BMW 335i - rotary buffer mess handled by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island

[Gurge]

Good friend of mine recently bought a 2008 BMW 335i (convertible twin turbo). He mentioned it had some swirls and need some attention. The interior needed a light cleanup as well. Only problem was, didn't have time for a full correction. Had about 8 hours total with the car.

Did the interior and wash / decon on the exterior. Put on the LED lights and it was a rotary buffer trail nightmare! Looked light somebodys first day polishing. Or I hope it was. Can't get much worse I don't think.

Definitely did not have time for a 2 step correction. Had to give it all I could with 1. Found this paint a bit on the hard side while doing test spots and settled on:

Flex3401 + LC Tangerine + Menz SIP

The test spot in question. Buffer trails stopped in their tracks

A 50 50 shot (reminder - this was not a full correction - just displaying the level of correction I was getting on this vehicle with 1 step only)

Looks like someone was learning how to use a rotary on that poor BMW.

Good job removing the holograms and the level of correction with that 1 step.

[Marc08EX]

Having swirls is an understatement for that car! You made a dramatic improvement for a 1 step process. Maybe your friend will give you more time with the car to make it look perfect.

Great work!

[BlackPearl]

Man, I got to get my hands on some Blackfire. I hate when you know how much better it can be if you just had the time. great work nonetheless.

Looks more like someone was learning how not to use a rotary on that poor BMW. :D

Man that thing was just hammered, very nice work for sure.

[SuperiorAutoLLC]

Nice job with the 1-step! It's too bad you didn't have time for a full correction because it would have turned out to be amazing.

[mwoolfso]

Nice restoration Gurge.

[davey g-force]

Man, that is classic holograms 101! lol

Nice work with the one-step. :xyxthumbs:

[dorkiedoode]

he definitely need to come back for a full correction. nice work.

[JSou]

Mr.Sparkle does it again. Looks like the dealership was trying to create a secret map with all those trails. Amazing.
